Extracurriculars:
I’ve started my own nonprofit organization based on encouraging local youth to practice healthy eating and sustainability along with a paid internship in So-Cal with vegan dietitians who practice sustainability and reverse diverse diseases through plant-based diets. I started my own club in my high school for my denomination and encourage my fellow students to help others in our community. I deliver groceries to residents at my local nursing home and I’ve made homemade masks for them at the beginning of the pandemic. I’ve also done my own research and wrote a paper about the effects of GMOs on the human body and the impacts it has on soil and water quality. I’ve done many mission trips to impoverished parts of Mexico and built shelters for them.
